Following their historic UEFA Conference League triumph under Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace are already mapping out a new tactical era.
Incoming manager Pierre Sage has reportedly informed the Selhurst Park recruitment chiefs that his absolute priority is to secure a reunion with striker Odsonne Edouard.
Sage wants to add proven quality to the Eagles’ front line to navigate next season’s gruelling Europa League schedule, especially with Glasner currently trying to lure final hero Jean-Philippe Mateta to AC Milan.
